Vanilla and Cardemom Lip Balm

Description

Have you ever read what is in your chapstick? I recommend you do so – then read ours below. Ditch the parabens, petroleum, and drying alcohols and give our lip balms a try!

Our lip balms are creamy and leave protective coating that perfectly moisturizes and lasts with the lightest to no aftertaste. The only drawback is that it can’t get too warm. We suggest keeping it in night table or a purse, but not a pocket.

What’s in our lip balms?

-Avocado Oil
Avocado oil can boost the production of collagen and make skin more elastic, reducing the signs of aging. It’s also known for its healing properties.

-Coconut oil
Coconut oil contains fatty acids that help keep your skin healthy while adding moisture that is easily absorbed. It is also a natural antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory.

-Castor Oil
Castor oil is full of fatty acids that can improve the texture and appearance of skin. It is antimicrobial.
Triglycerides found in Castor oil can help maintain moisture in the skin. It is also believed to have humectant properties, meaning it draws moisture into the skin.

-Beeswax
Beeswax is used to add thickness and make our lip balm more solid. It acts as an emollient, which means it softens skin and works to restore your skin’s natural lipid layer and also helps draw and bind water to your skin. The protective barrier that beeswax forms on top of your skin is perfect for helping cracked or damaged skin to heal while protecting it from environmental toxins. It is also high in vitamin A, which stimulates collagen production and skin cell turnover.

-Calendula
We infuse our oils with calendula for additional skin health benefits. Calendula petals are rich in naturally occurring compounds called flavonoids. These compounds are said to have anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective effects. This may lead to the production of collagen, as well as healing properties for damaged or burned skin.

-Vitamin E Oil
Vitamin E enhances moisturization of the skin. It is an anti-inflammatory.
It is known to reduce the signs of aging and approve the appearance of skin.

The flavors in our lip balm line are all either from therapeutic grade essential oils or are derived from spices being infused in the lip balm itself. We currently offer:

-Peppermint- therapeutic grade essential oil
– Vanilla Cardamom- infused into the balm base
-Cinnamon- infused into the balm base

Some of our lip balms do contain colorants that are naturally derived from plants in the form of beet root and anatte power. Any additional change in color can be attributed to the herbs they are infused with, and really don’t have a color payoff- meaning they will read as colorless on your lips.
